Have a leftover dinner day every once in a while instead of going to supermarket. Also, chop up fruit & veggies that are about to go bad and freeze for another meal. You won't notice they are less perfect when you toss them in a stew.

I make sure to eat a lot of leftovers. I use my freezer a lot, and I dumpsterdive to save some of the huge amounts of food that supermarkets waste. I also signed petitions and support legislations making it illegal for stores to throw out usable food.

Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand, a champion of projects to end hunger and improve nutrition in her own country Thailand and also in other countries of the Asia-Pacific region, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Timor Leste, has graciously agreed to represent the Organization as an FAO Special Ambassador for #ZeroHunger.

FAO helps countries to invest in agriculture, improving rural lives around the world. Working with governments and International Financing Institutions, over USD 115 billion have been leveraged to date.
